* * * Up to $30K incentive with use of preferred lender - Through 10/31!! * * * There's a bright, open feel to this English Country-elevation Holly home in Ballard Woods from the moment you step inside, with a vaulted ceiling over the cafe drawing your eye up and windows pulling natural light through the main living area. An interior fireplace with custom built-ins anchors the space, adding warmth and a little architectural character to everyday life, while a smart door delivery center out front keeps packages safe and out of the weather until you're ready for them. The gourmet kitchen is set up for real cooking, with propane-ready gas cooking for anyone who wants precise control at the stove, and it's easy to picture this as the spot where the day naturally starts and ends. A separate messy kitchen with its own sink and window keeps the main kitchen picture-perfect for company, so hosting never means a cluttered counter. A pocket office nearby gives you a dedicated spot for work-from-home days, bills, or whatever keeps the household running, tucked out of the flow of the main living area, and oak tread stairs add a warm, finished touch as you move between floors. Outside, the covered patio extends the living space into the fresh air, made for slow mornings and relaxed evenings, and the fenced yard adds even more room to spread out, whether that's morning coffee, an evening outside, or just a little extra privacy. Upstairs, the owner's suite is a genuine retreat, centered on a super shower with a handheld and rain head and a dedicated window that fills the space with natural light for a little daily indulgence at the start or end of every day. A laundry tub rough-in keeps the second floor practical for everyday life, and Bedroom 4 stands in place of a loft, giving you four true bedrooms and the flexibility to configure the extra space however fits, whether that's a guest room, a home office, or a hobby room that changes with your needs over time. Every New Home Inc. home here comes with Smart. Healthy. New. features built in, including smart home technology, whole-home MERV 11 air filtration, TechShield roof decking, and independent HERS energy testing, so the everyday comfort of this home is backed by what's built into the walls and the systems behind them, not just what you can see when you walk through. Beyond the front door, Ballard Woods offers quiet surroundings with easy access to everyday Fuquay-Varina amenities, close to the charm of downtown Fuquay-Varina and downtown Lillington in Harnett County. Come see this Holly home in person and picture your own life unfolding here, from busy weekday mornings to relaxed, easy weekends spent right at home. * Photos of staged home for representational purposes *
Ballard Woods is a community of new homes in Fuquay-Varina, NC, located at the corner of Ballard Road and US-401 in Harnett County. New Home Inc. is building twenty new homesites here, averaging about a half acre each, within the established Ballard Woods neighborhood. That means new construction in a setting that already grew in. The canopy is mature, the streets are settled, the landscaping has filled in, and the community pool and clubhouse are already in place. Buyers usually choose between a new house on raw ground or an older house under grown trees. Here you get both. Homes are New Home Inc.'s Signature Series, ranging from 1,800 to more than 3,200 square feet, with flexible layouts that include options for flex spaces, pocket offices, and first-floor bedrooms. Every New Home Inc. home is certified through Eco Select Energy and rated on the HERS Index by an independent energy rater. A home built to code scores 100. New Home Inc. homes average a HERS score of 66, roughly a third less energy than a code-built home, verified by third-party testing on the envelope and duct system before you get the keys. That means a house that holds its temperature and a power bill that does not swing every time the weather does. Commuting is straightforward. NCDOT completed Phase 1 of the Complete 540 project in 2024, extending the Triangle Expressway and adding an interchange at US-401. Ballard Woods sits on US-401, so reaching the expressway means heading north on the same road you live on. Downtown Raleigh and Research Triangle Park are both about forty-five minutes. Downtown Fuquay-Varina is thirteen minutes north, with restaurants, breweries, and Mineral Spring Park. Downtown Angier is thirteen minutes east and the Cape Fear River is ten minutes south. Schools are LaFayette Elementary, Harnett Central Middle, and Harnett Central High, all part of Harnett County Schools. Contact New Home Inc. to schedule a visit and walk the homesites.
